Eee rrr NEW, YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, MARCH 9, 1861—TRIPLE Two DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE. Arrival of the North Briton at Portland. Another Gigantic Financial Operation Exploded. WARLIKE MOVEMENTS OF AUSTRIA. STATE OF THE MARKETS, Porraxp, Me., March 8, 1861, ‘The eteamehip North Briton, Captain Robert Borland, which left Liverpool a: three P. M. of the 21st, and Lon- donderry the 22d ult., arrived at Portland at six o’clock this ovening, with £25,000 in epecie. March 3, in lati- tude 47 55 N., longitude 47 29 W., passed dn iceberg ‘nnd steamer; was an heur in an immense field of ice. The Bohemian arrived at Londonderry on the afternoon ef the 22d. Goid shipments to America are expected to be resumed ‘en a covsiderablo scale by the ensuing steamers. ‘The City of Manchester, from Liverpeo) on the 20th, ‘took £51,000 steriing. ‘The | arliament proceedings were unimportant. ‘The army estimates issued show a net decrease of £185,000, notwithstanding the number of land forces €146,000) is slightly in excess of laet year. The total sum required is £14,609,000, FRANCE. Reinforcements for the French army at Romo were eontinually leaving Mareeilles. Pagene Scribe, the celebrated dramatist, is dead. ‘Several persons in Paris connected with the traneac- tucns in the mines had been arrested. [Transactions with M.

Constantinople bills oa Mires falling due on the 20th and 2Ist reached £280,000 sterling, ‘and were not met. ‘The Bourse was dull, Rentes 68f. 10c. ‘ ITALY. General Caldwin (Cialdiniy) and Admiral Persano had Jeft Gaeta with troops for Meseina, The fortress had Been summoned to surrender under pain of an immediate ‘attack; but General Fergolla is reported to have do elared bis intention to resist till the last extromity. The Sardinian general, Mezzacopa, had likewise pro weeded with troops towards the Neapolitan fortress of ‘Stvitella, on the Tronto, aud would commence ap imme- diate attack, unless surrendered. ‘The Official Opinione denies the rumors existing of megotiations between Sardinia and Rome. BPAIN, Spain had agreod with Morocco that the paymont of ‘the indemnity, 200,000,000 reals, ehall be completed im- mediately. The customs and duties at Tangiers and Mogadore are Bo be hypothecated to Spain for remaining indemnity. AUSTRIA. 3A was reported via Hamburg that orders had been sent to Trieste to arm at once all sailing vessels of the Aus- trian navy. They are to be stationed at Zara, Cattoro, Finme, Ragusa, ic. Twelve gunboats are to be sent to the Guif of Guarrero to watch the coast of Tarkey. ‘The Levant Herald saye the Hasue Tarilis are to be re- newed for fourteen years, and also says a general suspen- sion of Galata bankers and morchants is threatened. INDIA. ‘The Bombay mail of the 26cb of January had reached England. ‘The news was unimportant. ‘The import markets were weak and lower; the exporta pteady. Seeds and cotton were higher. Money was in etive demand. The bank rate had again advanced one per cent, making it 11 0a government and 13 on private paper. The money crisis was ascribed to the recent large opium epeculations. Freights, after fluctuating, closed ‘rmer at £2 102. to Liverpool. Freights at Calcutta on ‘She 25th to London, dead weight, were £3 a £3 78. 64. THE LATEST NEWS. Loypon, Feb. 22, 1861, { The violent gale which swept over the country on Wednesday continued till Thursday. The Crystal Palace ‘was seriously damaged. Part of the north wing is ir auins. Several vessels went ashore, including the Amer!- ean bark Hiawatha. The London Times (city article) of Thursday evening says there has been amore general heaviness in the stock market than for some time past. It is reported that tho Bank of England contemplates a rise to 9 or 10 per cent fm their rate of discount. In the discount market the de- mand was moderate. Several capitalists are lending money for'four or six months at comparatively low terms. HUNGARY. Panis, Feb. 21—Evening. A telegraphic despatch from Vicuna announces that the tate of affairs in Hungary is becoming very serious. Bevera! districts, among them Raab, Somoguy, Petewar- en and Warden, will be declared in a state of siege. ‘The French ovcupation of Syria is to be prolouged two ‘or three mouths beyond the time originally fixod, The report of the Committee of Investigation of the Great Western Railway of Canada is rpady for issue.

" Dmornise or Corrox iv rus Souraman Porta.—The New FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Frupay, March 8—6 P. M. The improved feeling noticed within the past day or two in commercial eircles was still more ob- vious to-day. Some of the importers and jobbers are doing quite a fair business. It is evident that there will be no surplus goods left in this market wh n the wants of the interior have been satisfied, and as the importat‘ons continue light prices are not likely to fall much lower. Most leading articles of general merchandise are now selling considera- bly below the cost of importation. The private advices from Washington and the South to-day confirm previous statements with regard to the pacific intentions of the rulers of the two confede- racies. It is understood that informal negotiations are going on between Mr. Seward and the Southern Commissioners, and parties who appear to know say that a plan will be devised whereby the possibility of a fight about the forts will be obviated. Letters from the cotton States assert in the most positive terms that President Davis will exhaust every pa- cific effort before permitting a fight. As this is obviously the policy of Mr. Lincoln also, and as both confederacies have much to lose and nothing to gain by fighting, the fair presumption is that peaceable negotiations will last for many months, atany rate. The effect of this upon the general trade of the country cannot fail to be very marked. Money continues to be very abundant without change of rates. The news from England is more favorable than was expected, and rather tends to strengthen confidence. Foreign exchange is firm but dull, the rates for bankers’ bills being 10594 a 106 for sterling, and 5.3214 a 35 for francs, The demand for bills from the importers is quite light. The stock market was active and buoyant to- day, ata general advance. The rise was predi- cated upon a general belief in the pendency of peace negotiations at Washington. Several lead- ing operators have lately changed their front, on the strength ef advices from the South, and un- less some accident occurs, the prospect seems fair for a pretty substantial rise. At the morning board Virginias rose 1; Missouris, 114; Treasury notes, %; Pacific Mail, 14; Erie, 1°4; Harlem, 14; Reading, 154; Michigan Central, 1; Illinois Central, V4 Burlington and Quincey, 1; New York Central, 74; Hudson River, 4%.

It is known that the United States Assistant Treasurer at this port, Mr. John J. Cisco, has re- signed his office. It will devolve upon Mr. Chase to appoint his successor.. It is hoped that, in mak- ing a selection, Mr. Chase will exhibit more regard for the countyy than for considerations of party politics. The office of Assistant Treasurer of the United States at New York is the most important financial post in the country, without even except- ing the Treasury Department at Washington. Seven-eighths of all the money belonging to the government passes through the hands of the Assistant Treasurer here: seven-eighths of the payments made by the government are in the shape of drafts drawn directly on New York, or drawn on depositories which are supplied with funds from here. The whole of this money, in bars and coin, is in the sole custody of a single man— the United States Assistant Treasurer here. Some idea of the amounts which occasionally accumulate in the Sub-Treasury may be formed from*the fact that Mr. Cisco, during his term of office, has more than once had over $17,000,000 in gold and silver under lock and key, besides six or seven millions belonging to depositors in the Assay Office. The government takes security for the honesty of the Assistant Treasurerin the shape of a bond for $400,000, executed jointly and severally by four persons, each of whom is obliged to qualify for the whole amount. But this security is obviously a mere form. There is nothing to prevent a dishonest Assistant Treasurer from stealing three or four millions, and going off to Havana with the money. It isto be hoped that Mr. Chase will replace Mr. Cisco by a person who shall not give us a second edition of the Floyd-Bailey affair in New York. Honea. ty, however, is not the only requisite for the office of Sub-Treasurer at New York. As he is the only financial agent of the government ac- credited to the only great financial centre in the country, the negotiation of government loans must be in measure under his control. The Se- eretary of the Treasury, residing in an inland town on the Potomac, cannot possibly form re- liable opinions with regard te the money market. He must either be guided by the Sub-Treasurer at New York or make unsuccessful negotiations. If Mr. Cobb had followed the advice of Mr. Cisco the government ‘credit never would have been ruined, and millions would have been saved to the country. Mr. Chase should sce to it that the new Sub-Treasurer is a man upon whose financial ex perience he can rely for sound advice. To ap- point a mere politician to this important office will be nearly as fatal to the public credit as Mr. Cobb's treachery proved. ‘The following was the business of the Sub-Trea- sury to-day:— Receipts svet $698,570 53 —For customs. 78,000 00 oo 606,636 33 Balance . 7,710,052 11 * The isthdbaiee at the Bank Clearing Ho: this morning were $18,044,207 35, and the balances $1,028,998 56.

As an evidence of this we need only remark that the amount uf money collected by the railroad agent here for freignts alone, during the past i hist days, is $165,000, and that if the businees of the coming thirty days com- tinues ag it has commenced the receipts from that source here will reach over $200,000, The following were the London quotations ef American stocks on the 19th ult.:— Vnited States 5's, 1874. 85 a 87 Virginia 6 7 a 80 Virginia 63 a 72 Ilinois Central 85 a Do, 8T a = 3a al 8" 3 wie Chie ‘8, COD. a oo do. finkiog fund 8 a $100 shares. a Michigan So and 8.
